9mm Alpha - rugged on the outside, soft on the inside. An aura fragrance that polarizes

To begin with, I would like to briefly touch on the bottle and the concept. One of my predecessors has already addressed it, which is why I don't want to dwell too much on the topic of "violence." Some associate the fragrance with weapons, which would automatically imply that the creator(s) of the fragrance could be trivializing violence. I don't think this was in any way the intention of Jan Mihm or Geza Schön. When a creative mind develops a fragrance around the theme of gunpowder (and alpha macho) and thinks about the presentation, one can really only do everything wrong... Art should know no boundaries, but I too would condemn any reference to real violence. Mihm from Ballistic Therapy may have simply invented a kind of fictional alter ego and created this fragrance for that. Didn't we all want to be cool, Hollywood-style gangsters at some point? Didn't we all play Cowboys vs. Indians without "malicious" thoughts?

The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of bergamot, paired with spices and the association of gunpowder. Provocatively sexy. Not really smoky but quite peppery-spicy. Shortly thereafter, one is overcome by the refreshing feeling of black tea, but not iced tea. Here, I would almost claim that the recent creations M01+Black Tea and M01+Guaiac Wood are essentially based on the 9mm and make these fragrance directions/associations their own. Especially Guaiac Wood plays a significant role in the development and runs completely through the fragrance journey. The leather is less pronounced to my nose but still noticeable, paired with minimal floral and dark green notes as well as soft spicy musk. This combination is carried by Geza’s typical M01 Iso-E, and on me, the fragrance has very strong longevity and sillage. It is precisely this combination of Guaiac Wood, leather, and Iso-E musk that makes the wearer "feel" like a martial alpha. Rugged on the outside, soft on the inside. An aura fragrance that polarizes, just like its creator(s).

For me, a fascinating change in today's predominantly boring uniformity. I would almost claim that if 9mm had been released under a different name/label/bottle, it might have sparked a hype.

I am blown away

This perfume is an absolute eye-catcher and ideal for men who are looking for a unique yet elegant scent. The special feature of this perfume is the use of gunpowder in the top note, which gives the fragrance a rough, masculine touch. This perfume is a perfect choice for special occasions or for everyday wear. The scent is very distinctive and long-lasting, so you can be sure that you will smell pleasant all day long. The bottle itself looks very classy and appealing, making it a perfect gift for a special man in your life. All in all, this perfume is an excellent choice for men who seek a distinctive fragrance that gives them a sense of strength and confidence. With its unique aroma and the use of gunpowder as a top note, it is a perfume that you should definitely try.

Elegant Masculinity

The perfume I want to discuss today is a true sensation. It is masculine, elegant, and has a unique note that you won't often find in perfumes: gunpowder! Yes, you heard that right, gunpowder as a top note. It may sound surprising, but let me tell you, it works.

The first impression you will have is the rough and smoky gunpowder note, followed by a subtle blend of woody and spicy notes. It is a complex perfume that evolves throughout the day, getting better and better. It is not a fragrance for every day, but when you wear it, you will definitely be noticed.

The longevity is impressive, and you will still be able to perceive the scent even after hours. Personally, I like how it accentuates my personality and conveys a sense of adventure. It is definitely a perfume for the man who is not afraid to stand out from the crowd and wear something unique.

In summary, I can say that this perfume is a true masterpiece, and I can recommend it to any man looking for a unique and sophisticated scent.

Happiness is a warm gun

Provocative art serves solely the purpose of entertainment! If it aims to stimulate such a response, it best first provokes a controversy, just as John Lennon did with his song "Happiness is a warm gun," and as Berlin's Jan Mihm, head of "Ballistic Therapy," does. He describes the concept of the brand as "attractive, controversial, confrontational, provocative, and proactive." He refers to himself as "father, dreamer, lover, doer, brother, son, fighter, and feminist, who fills his masculinity as a liquid alpha recipe into bottles and challenges traditional gender images with the question: What kind of man are you?" In addition to the perfume "9mm," whose testers come in bullet casings (see photo below), bracelets made from 9mm ammunition are also marketed. What is that supposed to mean?
“Ballistic Therapy - Shooting at things to relieve stress. This mostly includes handguns, shotguns (scatter guns), and rifles. The bigger the bang or the boom, the more the stress will be relieved. Targets may include clay pigeons, steel plates, propane tanks, glass bottles, beer cans, real pigeons, television sets, computers, zombies, day walkers, night walkers, old cars sitting out in the middle of nowhere that still have the glass windows intact, any household items or anything that has ceased to work and is pissing you off.” Mihm quotes the extremely entertaining "Urban dictionary" on his homepage. So "Destroy what destroys you," with weapons, for the purpose of stress relief, things, animals, people, zombies. I’ll leave that here in the name of art and discourse.
What Geza Schön ("X for Men," "Molecule 01," ...) has made of the theme is initially consistent and later leaves plenty of room for interpretation and discourse: There is an impressive top note of bergamot, dark, sooty gunpowder, and spices, creating a refreshing feeling comparable to Earl Grey tea in a spicy cloud of soot, so black and tangible that it recalls a slapstick scene or "Smoking Colts," and one is inevitably compelled to check in the mirror whether one really has a black face.
As the smoke dissipates after a few minutes, pepper initially dominates, accompanying the brighter flint aromas of the gunpowder over a heavily muted dark mash of flowers in greasy black leather, smeared with bright moss and earthy, wet, sharp vetiver. The whole thing is already significantly quieter than the shot, as if a tinnitus in the ear of the shooter dampens the archaically heroic feeling after the liberating act, the masculinity of the liquid alpha recipe, making the experience resonate under the skin.
After about two hours, the scent retreats closely to slightly animalistic musk and earthy guaiac wood, the raging beast has calmed down, become tame, harmless, and inconspicuous. But perhaps the thrill has simply faded, and the new desire for an "even bigger bang," for further stress relief, for lively pigeons, zombies, propane tanks, and the fascinating cloud of gunpowder begins to sprout. Happiness is a warm gun.

I don't get the joke: neither the reference to weapons nor the gunpowder-leather-macho association. Plus, the guaiac wood bothers me.

Tested at Meister today. Great top note. Gunpowder and spice (I would have guessed clove), then the scent fades quickly.

Citrusy-woody-artificial and no trace of gunpowder. They should take a lesson from Beaufort. Beginners! ☺

Green herbs get a nice burn. Once it settles, you see crumpled, citrusy stems that quickly become close to the skin.

The concept of the perfume and the bottle/packaging is very creative.
The scent is exceptional, but a beautifully spicy spring fragrance.

Starts exciting with dry gunpowder and green freshness, but it was gone after 4 hours in summer - unique but lacking depth.

Initially pencil-sharp, later green and woody. Very masculine. I appreciate the thought process but not much else. P.S. definitely not for the airport.
